ACTION ALERT

Join AAPCHO's Petition Campaign to Support Immigrant Health!

The 2013 federal immigration reform effort is moving rapidly and several key issues that are important to community health centers are also central to the proposed legislation. As the ongoing Senate debate has revealed, it is incredibly important that we stay vigilant and aware that health care for immigrants is neither assured to be included – nor destined to be excluded – from the final legislation. That’s why AAPCHO is launching this petition campaign effort – to ask our members, patients, and friends to sign their name in support of health care for immigrants, as well as the elimination of the 5-year bar and restoration of COFA migrant eligibility for the Medicaid program.

Our goal is to gather signatures by June 20th! With both the Senate and House debating immigration reform, the time is NOW to make our voices heard! Check out AAPCHO’s Supporting Common-Sense Immigration Reform (CIR) page for more.
